During said promotion, and for 14 days following it, there are NO REFUNDS on DVDs purchased as part of the promotion. This has been the case for the last four or five years that the sale has taken place, and the signage states this. Not clearly, but you're an American consumer and the concept of fine print is surely not new to you.
If a manager agreed to give you a refund on your DVDs, they were making an exception for you. This would have been clearly communicated to you during the refund procedure, but for some reason you don't mention it in the thread. If your dilemma really involved "three levels of managers" there is simply no way the "no refunds" aspect of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free promo would not have been (gently) pointed out to you.
I'm also curious as to how you managed to work your way through three levels of managers when there are only two levels of management in a B&N retail store, assistant managers and the store manager. If for some reason there was a district manager present who was involved with your customer service issue, they would have caved instantly to all your demands and apologized profusely to you, because they have that kind of power.
I'm skeptical. I think you're not telling the whole story.
